2:03 the winds of victory blowing Fabiano back against the wall
-
Seems like Fabi has been working a lot on his blitz since last year. He did pretty good in the recent SCC as well.
-
Most important momemt was" will fabi (2700+) gonna see mate in one or not?
-
announcers be like "Is fabi going to see mate in 1? OH MY GOD HE FOUND IT"
-
Fabiano is one of my favorite players, always keeps calm and keeps things real.
-
Man what a victory by Fabiano! All hell broke loose when Hikaru took on c3
-
Fabiano looks like a young and happy version of “are you winning dad” because he actually won
-
I could literally hear Hikaru not even caring at 2:08
-
It's crazy how fast everything can fall apart in these top level games
-
It's great that these two extraordinary chess players are such chill people.
-
Hikaru still talking to chat while playing tournament lmao
-
I love hess' commentary, it makes it really exciting
-
Hikaru doesn't care, he literally doesn't care guys
-
Good to see fabi back in good form
-
That was an absolutely clinical attack by Fabiano.
-
Very happy for Fabi. Well played!
-
That was really cool. I think Hikaru can overthink at times. Fabi always seems well balanced and composed.
-
Very happy for Fabi. He had a COVID scare at Tata when his manager tested positive. Even if he wasn't, he had to play the tournament without support - which, Fabi admitted, was stressful and wore him down. I don't chalk his performance at Tata against him: let's see what Fabi will be able to do going forward!

There's a saying : "Always castle early".
-
What an amazing year! Hikaru wins a classical tournament and Fabi wins a rapid tournament...
